Mark Millar says Kick-Ass 3 is 'up in the air'

Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) is an ordinary teenager who goes unnoticed in high school until he dons a mask and becomes his alter ego of the title name to fight real-life crime. Though he has no real super powers, Lizewski is saved by a father-daughter duo (Nicolas Cage as “Big Daddy”, Chloë Moretz as “Hit-Girl”) who know all the right moves and have a vendetta against a vicious crime-lord, D’Amico (Mark Strong). Based on the comic book by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.

Mark Millar, the creator and author of 'Kick-Ass', admits it's still ''up in the air'' as to whether a third movie will be made.

Millar - who has just completed the print version of his amateur superhero story - says there is no certainty that a third film will be made, despite its popularity among comic book fans.

He told Comic Book Resources that making the first movie was a ''no brainer'', but added that ''it cost a little less at around $24 million, made $61 million and made about $100 million again on DVD and TV rights. It was still profitable. It was by no means 'The Lone Ranger'''.

Asked whether fans can expect a third 'Kick-Ass' movie, Millar said: ''I don't know. it's definitely up in the air, and we'll just have to see. Matthew [Vaughn, who directed the first movie and oversaw the second] is a guy who I trust to make that decision.

''I speak to Matthew every day, and we haven't discussed 'Kick-Ass 3'. So who knows?''

Meanwhile, 'Kick Ass' actress Chloe Grace Moretz has denied she and Brooklyn Beckham are in a relationship, saying they ''just hang out with each other''.

Chloe, 17, was seen skateboarding with Brooklyn earlier this year, but she is refusing to put a label on their status.
